There are others in the church besides your Pastor who saw that you were only making it to one service a week -- this, after having been so involved as you said you were. How would it appear to them if you were asked to preach? I understand it's not fair and it's not indicative of your walk with God; however, it's hard to preach and be effective when other saints see you're only there once a week.

I went from a church were I was an assistant to the Pastor (emphasis was made on the "to the") and preached several times a month, due to his schedule; to not preaching at all the first three years where I currently am, and then preaching once in 2011 and once in 2012 -- although I did preach twice this year due to my Pastor having surgery and being limited for a couple weeks. Sometimes you just have to be patient and wait on God.
There were 5 months my work schedule only allowed me to attend on service a month, and two months I was out of the country. That is seven months total. What about the other 5 months?
